Madrugada. One of my favorite bands most people don't know anything about outside of Norway, Greece and Germany. Madrugada is a Norwegian rock band formed in 1995. The band sing in english and have released four albums and seven EP's to critical success in their country. I really love Sivert Hoyem's baritone voice and Robert Buras guitar playing. Unfortunately Robert Buras passed away at the age of 31 this past July at his home in Oslo, Norway. He released two albums with his other band -My Midnight Creeps. Madrugada has a self titled album coming out this month with material recorded before Robert died. Madrugada will be continue playing live without Robert, as far as I know. They have released the single "Look away Lucifer"with the b-side "Caravan" last month. Sivert Hoyem has released two solo albums, "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Opposition" in 2004 and "Exiles" in 2006. He continues to tour with his other band, Sivert Hoyem and the Volunteers.
The term "Madrugada" is Spanish/Portuguese and means "dawn"--the blue hour.
